does anyone use a modern screen-foldable phone as their regular phone? - eviltoast

I haven’t met anyone yet who does and I haven’t read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

    Yes. I’ve used the razr flip. Which was probably the best phone I’ve ever had. Glorious device. Loved the foldable screen.

    I also use a pixel fold. Which is a piece of shit. Software is buggy. Hardware is poorly arranged. Generally hate using it.

      Oh that’s really interesting. I watched a razr and Z comparison video and the razr looked like it came out on top to me as well, though no judgment was made by the video.

      It didn’t feel bulky folded? Does the pixel fold?

        I have the 2022 razr model. Which has a slightly different form factor than the newer models might have worked better for me. Larger bezels are a bit easier for me to use. As for feeling bulky no not at all. It felt a very nice and good size for one hand when folded. Then when unfolded it felt like a normal phone.

        As for the pixel fold well. Folded it feels like a heavy and slightly bulky normal phone. Which is fine. Actually, I don’t mind the heaviness of it or the bulkiness of it. That said, I have a lot of problems with the phone’s design. For instance, the heaviness makes it difficult to handle confidently without pressing a button for me.

        Anyways, I posted a half feverish rant on the pixel fold here https://youtu.be/WHxOosmJt_U

          Thanks, in taking that review along with some other comments here to heart and will avoid the pixel fold for now.

          Seems like they haven’t figured it out yet
